Title: Ivory tower or trench? A Q study of legal knowledge and skills for graduate nurses.
Creator: Frock, Terri L., Florida Atlantic University, Urich, Ted R.
Abstract/Description: The Weidman and Stein (1990) professional socialization conceptual framework provided the organizing structure for a Q-methodological study about the perceptions held by professional nursing program faculty and nursing employers regarding required legal knowledge and skills for graduate nurses.

Show moreThe Weidman and Stein (1990) professional socialization conceptual framework provided the organizing structure for a Q-methodological study about the perceptions held by professional nursing program faculty and nursing employers regarding required legal knowledge and skills for graduate nurses. The purpose of this study was to identify common viewpoints from these socializing agents about a nursing program socialization outcome of legal knowledge and skills. "What major patterns of perception, if any, can be identified from nursing faculty and nursing employers regarding legal knowledge and skills?" was the research question guiding the study. An investigator-constructed Q sample of 60 statements was based on a literature review, Model Curriculum of Legal Content in Nursing Education (The American Association of Nurse Attorneys, 1992) document, and pilot study results. The Q-sample statements were administered during 1993 to a total of 60 subjects from four counties in southeastern Florida. The P set consisted of 20 associate degree nursing (A.D.N.) faculty, 20 bachelor of science in nursing (B.S.N.) degree faculty, and 20 hospital-based nursing employers responsible for hiring or supervising graduate nurses. The Q-sample statements were sorted according to a 11-point most-agree/most-disagree distribution continuum. Correlation and factor analysis were performed with SPSS-X version 4.1 (SPSS, 1990) and QMethod (Atkinson, 1992) VAX/VMS statistical packages. The selected factor solution was the two-factor, principal axes factoring with varimax rotation. The ivory tower factor represented an educational view of the graduate nurses' legal knowledge and skills ability by persons involved with the academic side of nursing (nursing faculty). This factor articulated the strong belief, support, and positive regard for graduate nurses' legal knowledge and skills ability. The trench factor signified a performance-based view of the graduate nurses' legal knowledge and skills comprehension from individuals associated with the practice realm of nursing (nursing employers). This factor placed a dismal level of confidence in graduate nurses' legal knowledge and skills ability and detected deficits in nursing curricula. This research corroborates the perceived nursing theory/practice gap. Implications and recommendations were generated for nursing theory, education, and practice.

Title: Analysis of the effects of local land use legislation and monetary policy on real estate development.
Creator: Kirkpatrick, Blake Wilson., Florida Atlantic University, Manage, Neela D., College of Business, Department of Economics
Abstract/Description: Countless studies have been conducted to determine how the real estate market reacts to the economy. The most accurate studies contemplate both macroeconomic and microeconomic variables simultaneously. In analyzing real estate markets, both monetary policy and regional factors must be examined to obtain an accurate portrayal of both national and local trends. One regional factor that has affected all real estate markets, especially in the southern states, is local land use legislation. Due to...
Show moreCountless studies have been conducted to determine how the real estate market reacts to the economy. The most accurate studies contemplate both macroeconomic and microeconomic variables simultaneously. In analyzing real estate markets, both monetary policy and regional factors must be examined to obtain an accurate portrayal of both national and local trends. One regional factor that has affected all real estate markets, especially in the southern states, is local land use legislation. Due to rapid increases in population, various states have enacted growth management policies to ensure stable expansion within their regions. This study utilizes data for Broward County, Florida, to assess the impact of land use legislation on the local real estate market in comparison to macroeconomic variables. The empirical results clearly demonstrate that legislation can exert a greater influence on local housing market activity during certain periods than can macroeconomic factors such as interest rates.

Show moreThis study investigates the market valuation of the effect of goodwill tax amortization on corporate acquisitions. Specifically, the study tests whether a significant positive change exists in the market reaction to acquisitions qualifying for the Internal Revenue Code section 197. Two methodologies are employed in the examination of the market assessment of the effect of the Internal Revenue Code section 197. First, a market model methodology is utilized in order to pre examine whether the market reacted differently to acquisitions that qualified for goodwill tax deductibility relative to acquisitions that did not. Second, multiple regression models were obtained for testing the study's hypotheses. The results of this study support the hypothesis that a positive change exists in the market reaction to acquisitions that qualify for the internal revenue code 197 relative to those that do not. There are two implications for these findings. First, they imply that acquiring firms did retain some of the tax benefits associated with the change in the tax law. Second, and given the findings of previous studies, the findings of this study also imply that the expected tax savings are actually shared between the acquiring firm and the target's shareholders.

Show moreSociety’s progression through the digital streaming age has created a music licensing landscape of grave concern to all stakeholders in the industry. These drastic changes have occurred under an outdated legal framework. This paper will recommend a comprehensive reform to our copyright law to uphold the intentions of copyright in the modern, digital age of today. By looking at the history of copyright and its evolution, one can assess how Congress has been tasked with establishing a fair market value for music by promoting the public interest and fairly compensating copyright owners. This will lead to an evaluation and comparison of those methods used to determine fair market value for creative works that will be the basis of the recommendation used to modernize copyright law. This recommendation will comprehensively provide for equitable treatment for all parties in the streaming age through its totality, additional reforms, and alternative ideas.

Policy advocates claim that such a legal change should decrease crime, as a crime victims will no longer be legally encumbered by the duty to retreat. This study examines the reason why states adopted such legislation and the relationship between this legislation and crime. I find that stand-your-ground legislation is associated primarily with southern states and republican governors, and that such legislation does not significantly affect either violent crime or property crime rates in large U.S. cities.

Title: PCAOB inspections and audit quality evidence from cross-listed securities.

Show moreIn the period leading up to the early 2000s there were a series of large company failures attributed at least in part to audit failures. Consequently, the Sarbanes Oxley Act (SOX) was promulgated in July 2002 to restore confidence in public company financial reporting and the work of auditors. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) was established by SOX and appointed as the regulator of the accounting firms that audit the financial statements of public companies. The PCAOB is required to routinely inspect the operations of these accounting firms in an effort to satisfy its mandate to bring about an improvement in the audit quality of these companies. These inspections extend to the non-US auditors of companies that are cross-listed in the US. Despite various mainly US studies on inspections, there is limited evidence that the inspections have resulted in improved audit quality. ... I examine companies whose securities are cross-listed in the US in the periods before and after inspection in order to provide evidence on the benefits of inspections. I find some evidence that inspections improve the audit quality of companies that are cross-listed in the US. This suggests the audit quality of companies from countries that do not permit inspections may be positively affected should inspections be permitted.

Title: Reforming public broadcasting's problematic publicness: An analysis of the effectiveness and prospects of Citizens for Independent Public Broadcasting.
Creator: Petrich, Kevin M., Florida Atlantic University, Fejes, Fred A.
Abstract/Description: In 1967, American public broadcasting was established with a mandate to offer educational and artistic programs, a forum for debate and controversy, and a voice for the otherwise voiceless. Public radio and television's mission was, in some respects, comparable to the role of the ideal public sphere, a realm removed from state and market interference and in which citizens discuss matters of common concern, without regard to race, gender, class, or individual self-interest.

Show moreIn 1967, American public broadcasting was established with a mandate to offer educational and artistic programs, a forum for debate and controversy, and a voice for the otherwise voiceless. Public radio and television's mission was, in some respects, comparable to the role of the ideal public sphere, a realm removed from state and market interference and in which citizens discuss matters of common concern, without regard to race, gender, class, or individual self-interest. Yet much of the medium's promise has remained unfulfilled, its existence irrelevant to most Americans. This study first explores the meaning of publicness, inquires into the causes of its problematic manifestation in public broadcasting, and envisions a more public form of the system. Publicness requires inclusive access and full participation by citizens, accountability, and insulation from political and commercial pressures. But public broadcasting's publicness, already narrowed by the upper-middle-class, secular, heterosexist, white, male biases of its founders, is further hindered by systemic insularity and infighting, inadequate funding, elected officials' micro-management, and commercial broadcasters' fear of competition. Most observers agree that reform of the system for the 21st century requires restructuring and creation of a new funding mechanism, in addition to an expanded definition of culture, more participation by citizens, and greater utilization of digital media technologies. However, any such reform is likely to encounter several political, economic, social, and cultural obstacles from lawmakers, public broadcasters, and commercial broadcasters. The study then assesses the effectiveness and prospects of Citizens for Independent Public Broadcasting (CIPB), a grassroots group attempting to reform the medium. This analysis concludes that CIPB's recommendation for restructuring and financing largely comports with most scholars' ideas. And its development of a nationwide network of local chapters and alliances often is exemplary of practices researchers associate with effective social movement organizations. But hegemonic political, economic, social, and cultural constraints impede the group's effectiveness and prospects.

Title: An empirical study of farm workers in South Florida: Environmental injustice in the fields?.
Creator: Murphy, Martha Celeste, Florida Atlantic University, Leip, Leslie A.
Abstract/Description: A Social Distance Model was developed for this dissertation to illustrate the marginalization of the migrant farm workers in South Florida. The social distance indicators used in the Social Distance Model are: (1) income level, (2) education level, (3) use of the dominant language, (4) property ownership, (5) laws and legal rights, and (6) race and ethnicity.

Show moreA Social Distance Model was developed for this dissertation to illustrate the marginalization of the migrant farm workers in South Florida. The social distance indicators used in the Social Distance Model are: (1) income level, (2) education level, (3) use of the dominant language, (4) property ownership, (5) laws and legal rights, and (6) race and ethnicity. These indicators demonstrate the marginalization of farm workers. This marginalization results in the creation of an occupational subgroup vulnerable to pesticide exposure, lack of protection under the law, and health problems. The four research questions which are used to illustrate this theoretical model are: (1) do the demographics of the sample population represent a marginalized subculture vulnerable to exposure to environmental hazards? (2) is there a relationship between working in the fields in two South Florida counties and exposure to pesticides? (3) are the current federal and Florida laws which protect farm workers from exposure to pesticides being properly implemented? and (4) is there a relationship between the health of farm workers in two South Florida counties and their exposure to pesticides? A survey about pesticide exposure, health problems and laws and legal rights was used to gather data about farm workers in two South Florida counties. A face-to-face, closed and open-ended survey was conducted with farm workers at several migrant farm worker day care centers in Palm Beach and Indian River County, Florida. The results of the dissertation reveal that: the negative outcomes of the Social Distance Model, which are poverty, alienation, lack of skills, economic exploitation, lack of use of the dominant language, lack of information on laws and legal rights, and few choices and alternatives for employment and housing, provide an explanation for the farm workers' marginalization. As a result of their marginalization, farm workers are an occupational group vulnerable to pesticide exposure. Another finding of the study is that federal and state laws which are currently in place to protect the workers from pesticide exposure do not adequately protect the workers from exposure to harmful pesticides and farm workers are uninformed of the laws which exist to protect them from possible pesticide exposure. Several of the health problems farm workers noted match the symptoms of moderate and mild pesticide poisoning. The results of the study demonstrate that the farm workers are disadvantaged because the majority of the farm workers: earn a yearly wage that puts them below the poverty line, do not speak English, have a minimal education level, and are uninformed about the current laws pertaining to pesticide exposure. The combination of these findings leads this researcher to the conclusion that the migrant farm workers interviewed for this study are a vulnerable subgroup of the American population, at serious risk of exposure to environmental hazards. The study concludes with policy recommendations for Florida state officials and the federal government to change and better enforce the current laws pertaining to farm workers. These changes will help the implementation and enforcement of the current laws designed to protect farm workers from pesticide exposure. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Show moreThe need that prompted this study was the educational officials' lack of exposure to changes in the libel law concerning their rights as educators and their newly defined classification as public officials. This classification creates the primary need for the study. Educational officials must prove actual malice when seeking libel suits. The purpose of the study was to historically investigate the present vulnerability of educational officials to the press. This vulnerability has been created by the Supreme Court decisions since 1964. The New York Times Company , Inc. vs. Sullivan landmark national libel standard creating actual malice as the criterion for civil suit by a public official, set the pivotal point as a demarcation from the past to the present in the legal cases concerning defamation. This study researched the law of the past to the present to set the background to develop the manner by which legal research may be accomplished by the educator. The major conclusion of the paper is the need for a fairness doctrine for press coverage, the equal of the fairness doctrine of the radio and television. The paper supports the contention that the newspaper is a major industry in a protected status without the restrictions of a fairness doctrine not only for the public official, but for the private citizen. Even though the private citizen need not prove actual malice, as does the public official, he does not have the right to fair reply in the newspaper as he does on the radio and television. This in itself is a modern logical anachronism in the law. How can other forms of the media be open while the press is closed to public response? Another conclusion of the study is the need for the present-day educational official to be able to do preliminary legal research in educational problems. The research in libel is but an example of the manner in which a professional educator should be trained. Simply stated , the modern educator training centers must place more emphasis on the legal training of educational officials .

A questionnaire was developed by the author, and validated by three directors of exceptional student education. Items for the questionnaire were drawn from the literature related to the effects of P.L. 94-142 on departments of special education. The questionnaire was distributed to the sixty-seven directors of exceptional student education in Florida. There were fifty respondents, or a 75 percent return . Tables were developed to indicate the percentage of responders within each category on the questionnaire. Tables of rank order were developed to detail types of problems encountered by responders, solutions utilized by responders, and particulars of policy changes and staff development plans. In summary, this study provided data which indicated the areas of impact and concern to directors of exceptional student education in Florida. General and specific recommendations for remediation strategies are outlined.

Show moreIn this qualitative study, 21 Title IX federal court cases between 2000–2022 were examined. The purpose of this analysis was to explore how the changes in Title IX guidance across President George W. Bush (R), President Barack Obama (D), and President Donald Trump (R) administrations have impacted higher education institutional liability lawsuits. Guided by content analysis and the power-conscious framework, three research questions were asked: (1) How have the Title IX policy changes under the Bush, Obama, and Trump U.S. presidential administrations impacted higher education institutional liability lawsuits? (2) What specific Title IX requirements within the Bush, Obama, and Trump U.S. presidential administrations are higher education institutions being held liable for violating? (3) How effective is the Title IX guidance under the Bush, Obama, and Trump U.S. presidential administrations at reducing institutional liability? Four themes emerged from this study: (1) Increase in Title IX lawsuits, (2) Violation of Presidential Guidance Does Not Mean Violation of Title IX, (3) Previous Court Cases, (4) Guidance with More Legal Protocol Can Reduce Title IX Liability. This content analysis concluded that higher education institutions should incorporate legal standards into their Title IX process and work to be compliant with federal law and the guidance provided by the Department of Education. Furthermore, this study demonstrates the different types and forms of power that change over a period of time. Based upon these conclusions, recommendations were made for higher education institutions and the U.S. Department of Education to create policies that would be fair and equitable to the involved parties while also reducing institutional liability.

Title: Gun control in Florida: an analysis of the Right to Carry Law of 1987.
Creator: Mathews, Sunil., Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College
Abstract/Description: In 1987, Florida passed a Right to Carry Law, allowing citizens to purchase a concealed weapons license. Bill proponents believe that an armed citizenry will deter crime. This study examines the relationship between gun control legislation and violent crime in Florida. By using multiple regression analysis, I conclude that gun control legislation has a significant effect on homicide rates, and the presence of national economic conditions is associated with violent crime in Florida.
